IRI-AKI mouse model with mtROS inhibition

Validation Score: 0.900 Price: $0.50 ischemic acute kidney injury IRI-AKI mice Status: proposed

What This Experiment Tests

Validation experiment designed to validate causal mechanisms targeting TFAM in IRI-AKI mice. Primary outcome: renal function, mitochondrial damage, and inflammation

Description

In vivo study using a mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury (IRI-AKI) to investigate the effects of mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) inhibition on renal function, mitochondrial function, and inflammation. Mice underwent renal ischemia-reperfusion with or without mtROS inhibitor treatment, followed by assessment of kidney function, mitochondrial parameters, and inflammatory markers. This experiment aimed to establish the causal role of mtROS in IRI-AKI pathogenesis.
